Palworld Dedicated Server Hosting

Last reviewed: 2026-05-29 · Updated for the current Palworld dedicated server build and Feybreak content

A dedicated Palworld server runs 24/7 on always-on hardware, so your world keeps ticking even when nobody is logged in. No host has to leave their PC running, no one gets disconnected the moment the host closes the game, and you are not stuck with the small player cap of co-op play. You get a persistent world that holds your Pals, bases, and breeding lines around the clock, full control over every server setting, one-click mod uploads, and steady performance for raids and busy bases. This is your own Palworld dedicated server, live all the time, that everyone joins on their own schedule.

Dedicated server vs co-op / non-dedicated (and why it matters for Palworld)

Palworld gives you two ways to play with other people, and they are not the same thing. Co-op, sometimes called a non-dedicated session, is hosted from inside one player's game. A dedicated server is a separate machine that does nothing but run the world. For anything beyond a quick evening together, the difference decides whether your Pals, bases, and progression actually survive between sessions.

Co-op / non-dedicated session

  • The world only exists while the host's game is open. When they log off, the server goes down and everyone is disconnected.
  • Player slots are capped low, around 4 in a co-op session, and limited by the host's home PC and internet.
  • Progression is tied to one save on one machine, so if that PC dies or the host stops playing, the world is gone.
  • Mod and setting control is awkward to share, and heavy worlds tank the host's framerate for everyone.
  • Performance rides on a gaming PC that is also rendering the game, so things stutter during raids and busy bases.

Dedicated Palworld server

  • Runs 24/7 on its own hardware. Players join whenever they want, and the world keeps running with nobody online.
  • Higher player counts: scale up to 30 slots as your community grows, well past the co-op cap.
  • One persistent world that everyone shares, with your Pals, bases, and breeding lines saved on the server, not on a friend's machine.
  • One-click Thunderstore mods plus manual FTP uploads, with backups before every update so a bad mod cannot end your run.
  • Dedicated CPU priority and NVMe storage hold performance steady through raids, breeding hubs, and dense Pal AI.

If you just want a couple of friends grinding for one evening, a co-op session is fine. The moment you want a persistent base, a real community, modded settings, or a world that is online when you are not, a dedicated server is the only setup that holds up. That is what this page is for.

Dedicated Palworld FAQ

Co-op, also called a non-dedicated session, is hosted from inside one player's game, so the world only exists while that host is online and player slots are capped low, around 4. A dedicated server runs 24/7 on its own hardware, keeps your Pals and bases saved on the server instead of one person's PC, scales up to 30 players, gives you full settings and mod control, and holds performance steady because it does nothing but run the world.

Yes. Upload your existing save folder through the file manager or FTP, restart from the panel, and your base, Pals, and items carry over. Once the world is on a dedicated server it stays online for everyone instead of living on one player's machine. Our team can help if you are migrating from another host.

Our dedicated plans scale by slots: Plan S supports up to 5 players, Plan M up to 10, and Plan L up to 30. Because a dedicated server is not limited by a home PC, you can run a full community well past the co-op cap of around 4 players. Change slots in the panel and restart, no reinstall needed.

Yes. Install Thunderstore mods in one click from the panel or upload them manually via FTP, and tune every world setting, capture and breeding rates, raid difficulty, Pal Box size, and damage multipliers, from the configuration panel. Snapshots run before every update, so a mod or patch that breaks the server will not cost you your world.

Yes. We keep server configs aligned with the current Palworld cross-play rules so Steam and Xbox players can join the same dedicated world without extra port tinkering. A dedicated server gives you control over these platform settings, which a co-op session does not. See our crossplay guide for the exact steps.

Dedicated Palworld hosting starts with Plan S for small groups, scales to Plan M for modded servers up to 10 players, and tops out at Plan L for 30-slot communities. Live prices show in your local currency at the top of this page, and longer terms cut the monthly rate by up to 22 percent. Every plan includes daily backups, DDoS protection, FTP, RCON, and 5 regions, with no setup fees or add-on charges.
